One of the outstanding Christian thinkers of all time, Maximus the
Confessor (ca. 580-662) exerted a powerful formative influence on
the Church when it was still one and undivided. Maximus left his
stamp on Christianity as it is now recognized by all three broad
streams of Christian faith: Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and
Protestant. Yet for centuries the detailed study of Maximus's
writings was neglected. The first edition of Thunberg's Microcosm
and Mediator (1965) helped to transform this situation of
indifference into one of intense interest in Maximus and the
subtleties of his thinking. This new edition has been revised and
expanded, with updated references and bibliographies. The focus of
Microcosm and Mediator is Maximus's anthropology, his highly
developed general reflections on human nature. Maximus understands
man as, not only a being - a microcosm - who reflects the
constitution of the created universe, but also as a being - a
mediator - created in the image of God, whose task it is, in
Christ, to reconcile the spiritual and the sensible into one
homogeneous unity.
